Tazz Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I just read an updated story on this. Amazing, he was driving the wrong way for 20 minutes before the crash and nobody was injured! A few fender benders and a few into a ditch, but just amazing nobody else was killed. How sad for his family though:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thats just what i wanted to see, since i drive them everyday! Well if you drive one like that serves you right. I hate trucks, I'll pass them on the shoulder if I have to to get away from those meth-heads. I'm sure there are great drivers out there, but enough is enough. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphoristically Moderate Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Reminds me of a CDL class I attended where the instructor mentioned drivers that get on limited access highways, going the wrong direction. The most likely time to encounter them is shortly after midnight. The offender is probably drunk. He gets on the off ramp and immediately heads for what he thinks is his right lane (your left lane). He probably also forgot to turn on his headlights. The best defense against this, if you have to drive around these hours, is to stay in YOUR right lane too. I encountered one of these drivers two years ago. They come out of nowhere because their lights are off. If you're someone who tends to drive faster and likes the left lane, drop your habit of doing that at night. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great advice though, just never thought about that before. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
